Is Another Ultimate Fighter Comeback Season on the Horizon?

One idea that may come up in the near future would be a do over of the infamous fourth season of the reality show in which the UFC welcomed in a group of past fighters to compete with the grand prize being a title shot at a current champion.

What no one could have predicted, however, is that one of the winners actually went on to defeat an incumbent champion.

“People keep asking me about the comeback. It was a great season, and the craziest part of that whole season is Matt Serra wins it and actually wins the title. It was crazy,” said White recently.

Serra defeated Georges St-Pierre in one of the biggest upsets in UFC history at UFC 69 in 2007 to claim the welterweight title.

The popularity and discussion about that season of the show has continued all the way until now, and the prospect of doing another “Comeback” season seems like something the UFC and White might be interested in doing.

“But the answer is yeah, we’re looking to do a lot of different stuff now with The Ultimate Fighter Live and that would be a fun one,” White stated.

I said in another post that I like the idea and they can find a lot of decent HWs to go through it.

Coaches - Cain/Bigfoot winner v. Mir/JDS winner or Bendo/Edgar v. Nate Diaz or both. Would be cool to see coaching teams, Cain/Bendo v. JDS/Diaz would be different and insteresting.

Dude, I’m a wrestler. I’m the best wrestler in MMA. Wrestling IS, was and always has been the most dominate form of mix martial art on the planet. That’s all there is to it. We all know it, some people want to fight it, some people want doubt it but wresters rule the MMA world. -

I love the idea of another comeback season, don't think they could get away with awarding the winner a title shot though. I think looking at the champs, few divisions would produce a competitive fight between a fighter who was cut, and any of the current champs.

that would be great. Too bad none of this will ever even come close to happening. Watching 14 guys in a house and compete isnt that interesting, it is played out at this point, with people you have no investment in.
